I'm going to let the link stay up, but I urge anyone who comes upon this take extreme caution when looking at the link on this thread.

You're fine. iStockPhoto is alright. However, to avoid risking the "should I download this" feeling, I'd grab a software to do so instead of clicking on links. For example, I use :

Real Downloader

Youtube Downloader

You could also go old school and use the "page information" style to capture embedded media in a page since it does not require any software. If you are interested in trying this method out, PM me.
